Heketi provides a RESTful management interface which can be used to manage
the life cycle of GlusterFS volumes. With Heketi, cloud services like
OpenStack Manila, Kubernetes, and OpenShift can dynamically provision
GlusterFS volumes with any of the supported durability types. Heketi
will automatically determine the location for bricks across the cluster,
making sure to place bricks and its replicas across different failure
domains. Heketi also supports any number of GlusterFS clusters, allowing
cloud services to provide network file storage without being limited to a
single GlusterFS cluster.
